Published

Parsons PXG 0311 irons and wedges, previously shrouded in mystery, are now available exclusively at Cool Clubs fitting locations — and as indicated by the upstart equipment manufacturer website, they’re not cheap.

Below are the prices per head for PXG 0311 irons and wedges:

$300 Stock Shaft Options

  • KBS TOUR 90
  • KBS TOUR
  • KBS TOUR-V
  • Nippon 95

$325 Stock Shaft Options

  • KBS C-Taper
  • Nippon Modus

$350 Stock Shaft Options

You might think Parsons’ screws are loose, but they do have peers at this price point. For comparison, Miura 001 irons sell for $235 per head, while Epon irons sell for $280 per head.

If you want to own a set of Parson PXG irons or wedges, you’ll need to set up an appointment at one of your local Cool Clubs fitting locations.

    Bought set, no better or worse than typical
    Clubs. Showed wear very quickly.
    Parsons has plenty of cash, soon to have less!

    I bought a complete set of PXG’s and went from a 15 index to a 2 in 3 days. I simply write down bogus scores but man do I look cool with these sticks on the back of my cart. Nuff said about the insanity of $300/iron.

    Love all the people complaining about $300 a club when I’ll bet all of them have dropped at least that on a driver and/or spent a grand on a set. If there is no difference in clubs between these and AP2, why is there a difference between AP2’s and a $200 set of Taylor Mades?

    Just went all in with PXG gear. Driver-Putter. I’ve had them all (Miura,Edel and all the major OEM Brands). Never have hit an entire set like these. Can’t find a weak spot. The driver is a beast with the correct settings and the Mustang putter is second to none. I would normally not play a 4 iron but am consistently hitting PXG 4 iron as if it was a 7 iron. Very expensive, but worth every penny in my opinion. Instead of trading in and out and spending the 5K eventually. Just go all in 1 time and bite the bullet. Won’t ever need another set to compete with these. Hard to beat my friends.

    This guy is out of his mind, I have played the game for 20 years and I can say that no club will make you a pro and 300 for head and no shaft DAM SHE BETTER BE REAL GOOD,

    I’m not sure what this guy is thinking but I can tell you I have played the game for 25 years and unless your are a pro or spend the time it takes to be a pro there is not a club out there worth this kind of money, what person I there right mind would spend this on head I mean she must be really good for me to spend that much on head and no shaft.

    Interesting concept.

    Just a bit expensive.

    I wonder how much each screw will cost if you want to make adjustments.

    I think everyone is forgetting that the target market (and people who should be playing a blade) is less then 1% of the golf population. Research has been done by the current major golf retail stores as to their demographics income. Typically the people who would purchase this style iron are more then capable to afford them at the high price point. Yes overall compared to PXG’s competitors I think the price is high, but is it worth the higher price? That all depends on what the PXG’s do for you. Personally I like the concept around the moveable set screws. It is much better than trying to reposition lead tape. If this was a game improvement style iron at this price point then yes Parsons is off his rocker, but this is a professional/players club.

    This company must be on dope.no way 300 a club..

      More like a billionaire owner (Bob Parsons, founder of GoDaddy and hunter of African elephants) out of touch with reality. Or maybe he just wanted to target his ultra rich friends. Either way, I’m not buying from that slimeball. They do look nice though, albeit a tad gimmicky. I have to tip my hat to the engineers. I’m guessing they won’t be having demo’s in my area any time soon.

  12. BustyMagoo

    May 27, 2015 at 7:51 pm

    So this is the club you get when a billionaire wants to dabble in the golf world. At least he’s not out shooting elephants in Africa.

    LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good luck I was considering giving these a look but for $300 a club only a person with more money than sense would by these. Get a normal set of clubs, take your savings from these and pay for some lessons

    • Curious

      Jul 24, 2016 at 8:33 pm

      What if you used to be a +4/+5 and now you are a 2-4 handicap that doesn’t get to play much because of work and family? Would you not pay to look at a head that looks like the blades you are familiar with from the past and avoid that clunky GI iron?

      Also, $300/head, I get it, it is a lot of money for an iron, traditionally speaking. In the grand scheme of things $300 is not that much money; disparaging brands or others because they have discretionary income isn’t really the best look for the golf community.

      Last I checked, the entire sport is based on discretionary income with an absolute $0 ROI.

    $300-$350 a stick?!?! That’s screwed up. I give it 9 month’s.

  15. Tom Duckworth

    May 24, 2015 at 1:33 pm

    So I read these are basically hollow heads filled with plastic. I wonder how much weight you can move around with the screws? I just can’t see ever buying these at that price point. There is no way they are that much better than any of the other top brands. Just a reminder to me that you can’t buy a good golf game.

  16. Ken

    May 23, 2015 at 8:06 pm

    I’m getting a set … In 6 to 9 months. They’ll be on eBay for $79 a stick.

      I hate to be a jerk but I don’t see how a domestic startup golf OEM can expect to sell enough units, at the advertised price point, to stay solvent. Best of luck to the folks at PXG but I’m not holding my breath on this one…

      • Curious

        Jul 24, 2016 at 8:35 pm

        Perhaps it is a greater investment into the game of golf from a technology standpoint. If the concept is sounds other OEM’s will certainly adobt it. Relax, time will tell.

    This company will be out of buisness in a year, unless the owner keeps dumping money into it. How can you justify the price point? You can buy mizuno, pings, titleist and have $1500 left to spend. Or miura’s for $500-$600 cheaper. The only players that will buy these are are ones with more money then sense

  18. MHendon

    May 23, 2015 at 1:16 am

    To justify that price I better hit 80% of my greens.

  19. Trent

    May 23, 2015 at 1:16 am

    I was able to try these the other day. They are an extremely solid and stable head from the LW through the long irons. They set up quite like a set of Ping S55’s, but are much more forgiving. Ball flight was nice and penetrating and relatively long as well.

  20. DB

    May 22, 2015 at 7:22 pm

    Haha, lots of people kept saying they were going to buy these…

    Haha, $300 per club. So $3k for irons and wedges. Plus tax. I’m guessing 95% of the original “buyers” have now changed their mind.

    • Adam

      May 23, 2015 at 11:45 am

      Count me as one of those. If they were maybe a slight premium above the OEMs I’d buy them for sure, but 3x the price of G30s and AP2s? No thanks, even if they can prove it’ll improve your distance by X, it’s just a simple cost/benefit decision.

  21. KCCO

    May 22, 2015 at 6:19 pm

    I can’t make up my mind with these irons/wedges….I thought they were growing on me, I like shape, and look from address, but 6 irons at >$1800+ Is a lot for some screwed up irons, lots of options at that price. Where did Parsons come from? Meaning another OEM? Or is that just company’s name?

    • Mix

      May 22, 2015 at 9:58 pm

      Parsons was the creator of Go Daddy, he left there when they went public and started his own boutique golf club business.

    At first I loved all the screws in them……now they just look stupid…….is it just me????

  23. Golfraven

    May 22, 2015 at 1:45 pm

    Too much going on with those srews for my liking & at a price tag around 3K$ bit overpriced. I am sure some folks will buy it but they not sell like hot cakes.

    I’ve owned 3 sets of Miuras including the baby blades ..I’m thinking there prices are head/shaft ..$300/$350 per club ..love the size..smaller compact head ..top line has a little more width like the apex mb ..and top toe is shortened so at the address position looks even shorted toe to heel ..I just question the offset ..I hope it’s just the camera angle ..or at that rate the p wedge would look hideous..714 titleist mb has a nice looking offset..Miura baby blades have perfect offsets in their p wedges ..mizuno mp-4 is a little too much offset for me ..in any case would love to hit these for all I know they could be great

    Lol. Good luck.

  26. Adam

    May 22, 2015 at 11:23 am

    Is this incomplete? I don’t see the pricing unless you meant for us to assume that the price above the shafts is the “per head” price in those shafts.

Welcome to the family: TaylorMade launches PUDI and PDHY utility irons

Published

on

TaylorMade is continuing its UDI/DHY series with the successor to the Stealth UDI and DHY utility irons: PUDI and PDHY (which the company styles as P·UDI and P·DHY). TaylorMade is folding the designs in with its P Series of irons.

TaylorMade outlined the process of developing its new utilities this way. The company started with the data on utility iron usage. Not surprisingly, better players — i.e. those who generate more clubhead speed and strike the ball more precisely — were found to gravitate toward the UDI model. DHY usage, however, covered a wider swath than the company might have expected with six-to-18 handicappers found to be bagging the club.

TaylorMade also found that the majority of golfers playing UDI or DHY utilities were playing P Series irons at the top of their iron configurations.

Can you see where this is going?

Matt Bovee, Director of Product Creation, Iron and Wedge at TaylorMade: “As we look to the future, beyond the tech and the design language, we are excited about repositioning our utility irons into the P·Series family. P·UDI is an easy pair for players that currently play P·Series product and P·DHY is an extremely forgiving option for players of all skill levels. It is a natural fit to give these players the performance in this category that they are looking for.”

TaylorMade PUDI

TaylorMade PUDI technology cutaway (via TaylorMade)

Crafted with tour player input, TaylorMade sought to develop a confidence-inspiring utility iron that blends with the rest of the P Series irons. Also of note: Interestingly, the PUDI has a more compact head than the P790.

In comparison to past UDI products, the PUDI has a more traditional iron shape, slimmer toplines, and less offset with a little of the backbar visible at address.

TaylorMade PDHY

TaylorMade PDHY tech cutaway (via TaylorMade).

Larger in profile than the PUDI, the PDHY seeks to position center of gravity (CG) lower in the club for ease of launch. The toe height is larger and the profile is larger at address — roughly five millimeters longer than PUDI — the sole of the club is wider for improved forgiveness.

Club Junkie’s take

Golfers who feel like they are missing something at the top of the bag could find the PUDI or PDHY a great option. The look of the PUDI should fit the most discerning eye with a more compact look, less offset, and a thinner topline. If you want a little more confidence looking down the P-DHY will be slightly larger while still being a good-looking utility iron.

For being small packages both models pack a pretty good punch with fast ball speeds, even off-center. The feel is soft and you get a solid feel of the ball compressing off the face when you strike it well. Your ears are greeted with a nice heavy thud as the ball and club come together. The PDHY will launch a little higher for players who need it while the PUDI offers a more penetrating ball flight. Both utility irons could be the cure for an open spot in the top end of the bag.

PUDI, PDHY, or Rescue?

TaylorMade offers the following notes to assist golfers in filling out their bags:

  • PUDI has mid-CG right behind the center face to create a more penetrating mid-to-low ball flight
  • PDHY has a lower center of gravity to produce an easier-to-launch mid-to-high ball flight.
  • Both PUDI and PDHY are lower-flying than the company’s hybrid/Rescue clubs.
  • PUDI is more forgiving than P790.
  • PDHY is the most forgiving iron in the entire TaylorMade iron family
